Our livestock enterprise is based on a single suckler herd of 240 cows and followers. Predominately based on Sussex or Sussex cross cows we use a Limousin Bull to produce the confirmation that the local markets are looking for.
We have about 400 hectares of grassland which varies from zero input grassland under ELS / HLS schemes through low input leys in ELS Schemes to higher input leys which are reserved for Silage and latter in the season hay / haylage.
Early spring calving takes place at Stanford Bridge Farm where most of our animals are housed during the winter period.

These are finished at grass and housed at Stanford Bridge.
During the summer all our stock are kept locally on grass with the young stock being feed a creep ration as required. Our stocking rates are low at about 1 livestock unit to the acre to acre and a half to fit in with our various environmental schemes.
